I've used a Vlinker and Vgate device and they dont seem to connect to my phone. When I try to connect with Bimmerlink, it doesnt connect. The phone sees the scanner and I enter the correct pairing code but doesnt seem to get passed there. the scanner doiesnt showed as connected on the phone and Bimmerlink cant find it. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong? ]]> UK Technical Forum crikey66 https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2239440 https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2238386&goto=newpost Tue, 21 Apr 2026 19:15:05 GMT Evening all, Can anyone throw some suggestions as to what they think this sound may be please.

Could you please advise on a possible solution to this problem, or recommend a reputable garage in London that could assist with clearing the fault codes? ]]> UK Technical Forum Mat07 https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2236750 https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2236224&goto=newpost Sun, 05 Apr 2026 11:36:20 GMT Had a brand new aftermarket rear subframe fitted which came with all new bushes.

It took the garage a long time to do, they also replaced a rear wheel bearing at the same time. They did basic wheel alignment camber and toe with gauges, but needs a full 4 wheel alignment doing which I booked in advance for next week.

When I drove it away from the garage I started to notice that when slowing to a stop, a low pitched noise appears that like a low whine and scraping noise.
If I pull away again at lowish speed then brake, it doesnt reoccur.
Seems like you have to be driving at 30 mph or so, then come to a stop, it's always there when slowing between say 10mph and zero, engine hot or cold.
Driving at motorway speed seems ok, at least I can't hear anything, and it feels smooth.

It's a manual gearbox.

The garage are closed now for a few days, so thought I could do with some thoughts on this in advance.
I read on another forum a theory that the subframe being misaligned could cause diff noise like this, but in that case it turned out to be something else.

Is there anything that could have been done wrong, like the position of the diff relative to the propshaft coupling? I don't know what those couplings are like or how much misalignment they can compensate for.

If it could be subframe misalignment by not being free to move when tightened up to the chassis, I could do with getting this adjusted before it goes in for wheel alignment next week.

Any thoughts appreciated. ]]> UK Technical Forum AndyVR https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2236224
